Abstract:

Antibody detection is important for African swine fever virus (ASFV) infection diagnosis and vaccine research. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a fully automatic chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) based on ASFV p72 protein antibody. For the detection, antibodies against p72 were captured by magnetic particles (MPs) coupled with purified p72 protein, then combined with alkaline phosphates (AP)-labelled p72, and ASFV p72 antibodies can be determined using a fully automated chemiluminescence analyzer. Under optimal working conditions, the cut-off value of the established CLEIA was 9.505 U·mL-1 with a diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of 98.33% and 100%, respectively, and no cross-reactivity with other porcine pathogen-positive sera were found. The intra- and inter-batch coefficients of variation were less than 5% and 10%, respectively, and all components can be stored for more than 6 months at 4 ℃. The lowest detection limit for ASFV-positive standard serum was 1∶12 800. The total coincidence rate with the commercial kit was up to 95.90%, indicating a good applicability. In conclusion, the established CLIEA has the advantages of high sensitivity and reproducibility, combining with automated detection and simple operation steps, which can provide an important tool for the clinical diagnosis of ASF.
